5 Signs You Have a Fake Friend

They're always gossiping.

If every time you chat or hang out with this so-called friend, they're always talking about other people in a negative way or telling you things about others that they shouldn't be, then guess what? They are also talking about you in a negative light to others, as well.

You feel bad about yourself whenever you're around them.

Friends are supposed to be a supportive, positive influence in our lives. After spending time with them, you should feel lighter, happier, and like you can take on the world.

They only ever pick out your flaws.

One of the signs of a true friendship is when you are able to call each other out when one of you is in the wrong. That being said, the two of you know how to do so in a way that doesn't tear the other person down but rather encourages them to be better.

They are never there but expect you to be there for them.

You know who we're talking about: They're that person who always cancels plans at the last minute, is never available to listen when you need a kind ear and makes endless promises that they never keep.

Note: This is the same person who then gets angry or annoyed when you aren't available for them.

They hold grudges.

We all mess up sometimes, after all, we are all human. A fake friend, however, will never let you forget about it. They will hold the mistake over your head in order to make you feel guilty and coerce you into doing things for them.

I'm thinking a fake friend would be better called an acquaintance ... but what's in a label?

Thanks for MHO

You're pretty much spot on

People make fake friends for a reason and many times it’s to use someone. Number one if you’re someone whose a giver who likes doing things for other people they may be keeping you around so that you’re able to do that. So they’re able to ask you for favors since you’re a nice person but they don’t genuinely like you.

Another thing is social status some people keep people around them because of their status not because they really want to be your friend. Maybe you’re someone who has some level of influence or maybe they’re trying to get to know someone else through you. These things are very common.

They need someone to feel better then. They need someone who they can feel better then so they can feel better about themselves as well as have someone to talk about. They are there to take pleasure in your downfalls as well as your failures in life.

To sabotage you is a more nefarious reason someone may be in your life who doesn’t really like you maybe even hates you. Is a personal grudge against you or maybe it’s a workplace environment where it’s competitive. Get you to say or do something they can use against you.

Just remember fake friends are fake friends for a reason. They’re pretending to like you for some reason or another otherwise they wouldn’t want to be around you at all.

I'm surrounded with fake friends. Last real friend was a girl in Kindergarten who just liked me because she wanted someone likes her.
I don't feel bad about myself around them but according to saying " you recognize a friend when you're in need" I know I can count only on myself once I'm down.

This one and I’ll also say if you know about their other friends and they know about you, but you never hang out all together.. Another one is when your friends friend who you don’t know anything about them, and they know enough about you to have formed an opinion. (When they don’t like you for no reason) those were two things that made me realize it.
